Clark, List,

Yes, I am familiar with both the brands you mention.  I have always had a
fondness for the older Mehlin & Sons pianos.  Something about their idea of
building pianos is clearly different from others.

And those bridges on the older Hallet & Davis pianos, talk about different!
Those folks were from another galaxy  :)
